Over the holidays this year, I headed back to NYC with my wife and son to visit our families and have a good rest. (A rest from what I don’t know, because at the time of our trip we were both unemployed; however, as of this writing my wife at least has found a job.) Whenever I see my mother, she always gives me a huge stack of New York Times articles that she has been saving for me. Anything that could even possibly be of interest to me, she clips out and saves. It’s a bit like a knowledge dump from The Matrix. So now I have several such bags of articles that need to be gone through, and I’ve been noticing that in the mix are a lot of obituaries, particularly of notable cartoonists, animators and other creative people who have died in the past five years.
They deserve to be remembered. I thought I’d share some with you.
